She urged the government to reduce or subsidise farm implements and commodity costs to enable smallholder women farmers to improve upon their production to address food insecurity and reduce poverty associated with rural areas.

Hajia Tambro made the call in an interview with Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Tamale.
She called on the government and other stakeholders to come out with mechanisms to strengthen smallholder women farmers to promote sustainable farming practices and increase productivity to enhance their livelihoods.

She called for training of smallholder women farmers on how they could produce their own local fertilizer for farming to increase yields.

She said building the capacity of smallholder women farmers on sustainable agricultural practices such as regenerative farming and climate-smart techniques for environmentally friendly practices was critical and appealed to agriculture experts to consider such proposal for future action.
